Not sure If you mean this as a beginner level question or you just wanted to confirm what the key numbers are so lets do both.

Key numbers are the most common differentials we’re likely to see in the final score.

You score points in the NFL via Field goals (3 points) or Touchdowns (6 points + the extra point for 7). Thus you can imagine that games have a higher probability of ending with a 3 (24-21, 30-27 ect) point differential or a 7 point differential. If you have access to a database or search the internet you’ll find a couple articles giving you what % a game lands on 3, 7 and some of the other key numbers. That % will be different depending on if you use a 5 year sample size vs a 20 year sample size ect.

In recent years 6 has become more important of a number since you don’t kick extra points in overtime and the extra point was moved from the 2 to the 15 creating more misses (6 points vs 7). I do agree with Walt that 6 is the 3^rd most important number. Chuckster mentioned the rest 4,10,14.

Hope this helps.
